Current majors in the International Studies program are invited to apply to join the Sigma Iota Rho International Honor Society for International Studies. Upon induction into the Society, members gain access to Sigma Iota Rho’s internship database and LinkedIn page, special funding opportunities, a chance to be published in the Journal of International Relations, and graduation regalia including a stole, honor cord and pin. Through Sigma Iota Rho, we hope to build a stronger International Studies major community at CWRU.

If you are interested in applying to join, please contact International Studies major and chapter President Sophia Peterson (swp35@case.edu) for further information.
